Driving down to Istria when looking for property
So you got out of the plane at Trieste to start to your trip to Istria, in Croatia. You heard about the region as a good bet for buying a property in Croatia but now you'll have the chance to see the real thing. Whether for investing purposes like a buy to let or just to get your own place in the sun Istria has indeed very good accessibility to convenient airports such as Trieste, where Ryanair flies offering very cheap tickets.
The next step then is hiring a car, you can do it at the airport but don't forget to mention to plan to cross the boundaries and visit Croatia, that's to be covered with the insurance properly. Driving to the centre of Trieste is marvellous, especially in summer, if you take the road next the coast you can already feel the Mediterranean at the maximum.
Trieste is a very historical place, a great piece of Austro-Hungarian architecture with Italian flavour. Stop there for a cappuccino before heading to Istria. Slovenia will be next, a short drive and you enter to Croatia.
The roads in Istria offer a great scenery of the country side -you might take a coastal route but will take much longer. The region is full of little hamlets on top of hill and the feeling you're in Tuscany will surprise you. Istria is indeed a mix of cultures, Italians and Croats living alongside, speaking in a common dialect where you mix words of each language gives Istrian people charm.
